Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank – Pressurized Composite Buffer Tank

The Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank is a pressurized composite buffer tank designed for hydronic heating and cooling systems, low-mass boiler systems, and chilled water applications. Its composite construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel tanks.

The tank is designed to help reduce equipment short cycling, improve hydraulic separation, and provide thermal storage for systems with changing heating or cooling loads.


Key Advantages

  • Corrosion-Free Construction: Made from NSF-approved polypropylene with continuous strand fiberglass and high-temperature resin.
  • Lightweight Design: Approximately half the weight of comparable steel buffer tanks.
  • High Insulation Performance: Closed-cell foam insulation with heat loss stated at less than 1°F per hour.
  • Reduced Short Cycling: Helps reduce heat pump, chiller, or boiler cycling during low-load conditions.
  • Hydraulic Separation: Four-port design separates supply and demand circuits for improved system operation.

Specifications

  • Maximum Temperature: 180°F at 75 PSI; 140°F at 100 PSI.
  • Available Sizes: 22, 40, 55, 80, and 120 gallons.
  • Four stainless steel side ports.
  • Thermal well included on all sizes except 22-gallon.
  • Includes vent, vacuum breaker, and drain connections.

Operation & Function

The Arctic Hybrid Tank acts as a thermal energy battery, storing heated or chilled water for use when needed. By separating the high-flow heat pump or boiler circuit from the system’s hydraulic loads, the tank can help stabilize system operation.

  • Reduces short cycling of heat pumps, chillers, or boilers.
  • Helps balance multiple low-BTU loads that call at different times.
  • Can serve as both a thermal buffer and hydraulic separator when properly piped.

Efficiency

The supplied product information states that the Arctic Hybrid Buffer Tank has 41% less heat loss than comparable tanks, helping reduce thermal losses while providing a rust-resistant buffer solution for hydronic systems.
